ALZHEIMER'S BLOGGING:

When we first moved in with my father in law he sometimes forgot our names. He would lose his razor and forget where he put it. In time he forgot how to turn on a light switch, or make coffee, something he made most of his adult life. We were not real familiar with Alzheimer's but we got a fast lesson on this undesirable disease.

Alzheimer's Disease affects nearly 5 million people in the US. This disease gradually destroys a persons memory and ability to learn. There is no cure for Alzheimer's and no way to predict how fast someone will progress through the stages of this disease.

Early diagnosis and treatment can slow the progression of this terrible disease. If you or someone you know is experiencing these symptoms please see a doctor and get on some medicine to try and help slow the process down.
